Answer to Question 1

If injections are given in the rear limbs, the renal portal system delivers the drug to the kidneys, which filter out the intended dose.

Answer to Question 2

(a) lizards: ventral coccygeal vein, ventral abdominal vein
(b) snakes: cardiac puncture, ventral coccygeal vein
(c) chelonians: the jugular vein, both the dorsal and ventral coccygeal veins, the carotid artery, the heart (soft-shelled turtle), and the sub-carapacial vein. Any two would be correct.
